We are thrilled to share the exciting performance opportunity our workshop participants experienced with Brisbane Festival 2024 as part of Us and All of This. This contemporary performance, created by acclaimed choreographer Liesel Zink, brought together 100 local dancers—including our very own Access Arts participants—to perform across the vast urban space of Brisbane Powerhouse.

 

Us and All of This unfolded as a “collective act of radical slowness,” inviting participants and audiences to reflect on the power of community and connection. The large-scale performance, set against the forecourt of Brisbane Powerhouse, created a mesmerising and calming experience, where performers moved together as one, challenging the fast-paced, isolated structures of our society.

 

Access Arts participants were thrilled to be a part of this event, where they not only performed but also prior and post performance artists gathered in the “Pleasure Dome’ warm up and meeting tent especially designed to support artists and at the end, received a commemorative Us and All of This t-shirt as a memento of their participation.
